His is one of the signature names associated with sport in Summerhill College and Sligo down through the decades.

A former pupil and teacher at Summerhill, he was the man who introduced soccer, basketball and even wrestling to the college with staggering success.

He guided Summerhill College to multiple all-Ireland soccer titles and a place at the 1971 European Schools Championships in Switzerland.

He created Summerhill’s first past pupil’s union – which led to the formation of Collegians FC – one of junior soccer’s most famous clubs in the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

Today, he lives in Florida – but to celebrate his 90th birthday this month, he has returned home for reunions this weekend.
